Three months ago, Campagna[5], an East Sixth Avenue pizzeria and salumi bar, opened in one of the city's most unforgiving spaces. The location, which has little parking and a difficult layout, has been home to several restaurants (most recently Mojitos Cuban Bistro, Mel's Bistro, and Montecito Restaurant), but we're hoping Campagna will break the cycle.
If the eatery stands a chance, it'll come from dishes such as the ripieno calzone. The folded-over pizza does just what it should: showcases chewy crust lightly stuffed with spicy salami, creamy ricotta salata[6], fresh mozzarella, sliced Italian tomatoes, roasted garlic, and fresh oregano. The flavors are pure and evoke comfort without being heavy.
Campagna's interior feels dark and a little worn, but menu items like the calzone will bring diners back---or at least entice them to order take out.
